Jeff, Thanks for that. The httpd.exe instance is in fact not running in a console, but it amounts to the same thing in terms of my being unable to cleanly terminate it. taskkill doesn't deal with the child task, but I did find pskill after a bit of poking around, that will at least manage that. Ah well. Now I have to verify that I can do that from within a PHP script. -- Cheers -- Tim
